Amazing, friendly service. A joy to work with! They have always been accommodating when I've rented with them. Skip all the VRBO and Air B&B fees and rent directly from Best of Canaan!

I've never had the opportunity to use Best of Canaan for their rental service, but I have worked with their realtor Amy Barb who has done a great job at helping me find the perfect property and then negotiating all the ups and downs that go with any real estate purchase. Great experience!

Our family go to WV every summer and I have at least over 20 family members go with us and we LOVE staying at the cabins!! We always have a campfire together, have big meals together, play games and go on hikes. At night everyone goes back to their cabins, and we stayed at Wild Turkey, and it is the best cabin ever, It is so clean, cozy and relaxing. For us it feels good to come back to our cabin especially after a long day with the fam!! I RECOMMEND BEST OF CANAAN!!

Beware!! Best of Canaan only posts the positive reviews of their properties on the website so visitors do not get the true picture. I wrote a mixed review after staying at one of their homes and lo and behold it never was posted. I followed up in an email as I thought it might be a clerical error and never heard back---seems like dishonest business dealings to me.
